in one of the debates, foreign policy was huge. and there was a big narrative out there that president obama, you know, he couldn't take the 3:00 a.m. phone call, wasn't prepared, didn't have executive experience, wasn't ready to do foreign policy. president obama stood up in that debate, and i think it's one for the highlight reel. he said, if we have intelligence that osama bin laden is, you know, in pakistan and the pakistanis are unwilling or unable, we will do what we have to do. something to that effect. i mean, it was very effective. and so i think that president obama has a record in a debate. we know who he is. he means what he says. and i think that this is the failure of romney's campaign, throughout the entire narrative of this campaign, we've never been able to really know who this guy is. he has to play tonight. >> i think chris's point about emotional intelligence is really important. but i will say this. training can get people to places they haven't been before. when president obama began, everyone said he was too

there are foreign policy challenges. i think the next president will have a moment between november 7. i agree, he has to begin in the summer fall of 2013 to do a lot. i would bet contrary to conventional wisdom that would be huge legislative agenda. i think whatever one wins. i don't buy the gridlock argument. if obama gets reelected, he will have kind of a man they basically have to go with his version of a big deal, which will be bowles/simpson, though left version of bowles/simpson and a little aggressive entitlement reform than people would like. and if romney wins, he'll have a mandate for some version of the wine budget, probably time for a little to get democratic votes. to become president he will have a mandate or something close to that. either way would get a pretty big deal plus the pressure of the debt limit in the other things in markets that they are. i think 2013 becomes a big entitlement reform, tax reform, budget reform moment. it doesn't mean, the sort of gets to john's point, and amazing tidbit and s
